“The
Institute’s 2015 Hunger Report shows why women’s empowerment is vital to ending
global hunger and poverty. Women are the primary agents the world relies on to
fight hunger. In developing countries, most women work in subsistence farming,
the backbone of local food security. Women the world over feed and nourish
their children.

Discrimination
against women is a major cause of persistent hunger. The 2015 Hunger Report
analyzes the ways in which this plays out in the household, the economy, and
politics and calls for a more comprehensive, holistic approach to women’s
empowerment.”

Bread for the World is a collective Christian voice urging our nation’s decision makers to end hunger at home and abroad. By changing policies, programs and conditions that allow hunger and poverty to persist, we provide help and opportunity far beyond the communities where we live.Bread for the World is a 501(c)4 organization.
